Chickpea Snacks On The Way!
We've been reworking Kara Sev so it can be baked instead of deep-fried — and the test batches are looking good.
We are excited to share that we've been working on recipes to recreate Kara Sev. Sev is a spicy snack made from chickpea flour and chilli peppers. Like many snacks from South India, Kara Sev is deep-fried in oil. Our mission, of course, is to find a way to bake it instead — while preserving the traditional taste.
Why the shape had to change
Like the other snacks in our product line, the main modification we needed in order to bake rather than fry was to change the noodle-like shape into flat ribbons. Based on our trials, the ribbon shape gives the best result for cooking it uniformly.
Interestingly, one of the traditional variations of this snack already uses a ribbon shape — but is still fried. That one is called Ribbon Pakoda.
What happens next
What you see above is our successful test recipe trial. Once we have created the product labels and are ready to post them on the website, they'll be available for ordering.
Chickpea snacks are on the way. Be prepared to immerse yourself in freshly prepared South Indian snacks.
